ZDNET's key takeaways The Anker MagGo Qi2 magnetic wireless charger pad is available for only $25. It's a cheap high-speed Qi2 compatible wireless charger, but well-built and features a long cord. There is no charger included with the standard option (this kit costs an additional $9). $24.99 at Amazon Recently, I've seen more and more power banks integrating wireless charging capabilities, such as the Anker MagGo Qi2.

I tested Oppo's super-thin foldable for a week, and it made my iPhone 16 Pro feel ordinary

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-11-14 22:00:17

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

Obscura VPN – Privacy that's more than a promise

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-14 11:06:56

Unlike VPNs with a “no-logs” policy, Obscura is provably private by design. Even “no-logs” VPNs see both your identity and your internet activity, meaning you have to blindly trust their pinky-promise for privacy. This is exactly why some privacy-conscious folks will tell you not to use a VPN at all. Obscura is different – we never see your decrypted internet packets. It’s simply impossible for us to log your internet activity, even if we were compelled to, or if our servers were compromised.

Egg prices are soaring. Are backyard chickens the answer?

February 19, 2025 Update: Egg prices may be impacted for reasons beyond the scarcity of laying hens due to bird flu. Farm Action, a farmer-led advocacy group, has written to the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, requesting an investigation into “potential monopolization and anticompetitive coordination” by the egg industry. “While avian flu has been cited as the primary driver of skyrocketing egg prices, its actual impact on production has been minimal,” the group wrote. “I

After 20 Years, Math Couple Solves Major Group Theory Problem

news.ycombinator.com Leila Sloman 2025-11-14 20:09:56

After the conjecture was posed in the 1970s, dozens of mathematicians tried their hand at proving it. They made partial progress — and in the process they learned a great deal about groups, which are abstract objects that describe the various symmetries of a mathematical system. But a full proof seemed out of reach. Then Späth came along. Now, 20 years after she first learned about the problem and more than a decade after she met Cabanes, the two mathematicians have finally completed the proof.

Oppo Find N5 review: the final evolution of foldables

Oppo’s Find N5 feels like the end game for foldable phones.

There’s scarcely room to make the phone thinner without ditching USB-C entirely; battery life, performance, and even cameras are now on par with other flagship phones; and this time, Oppo even managed to fit wireless charging and water resistance in, too.
